3RD DIGIPAK ANALYSIS

Paramore - Misery Business (I am unable to find an image of the back cover and the inside of this digipak).

Iconography (signs)

The main icon and the first thing that you see is the head shots of the four band members, connoting importance. The close up creates a personal feel and a sense of confidence. The way that the lead singer (Hayley Williams) is looking in an opposite direction to her other band mates makes her stand out and brings a sense of mystery.

Colour

The light colours brings a soft and gentle feel to the CD cover. The lead singers bright orange hair draws your attention straight to her and displays energetic and lively qualities to the image. The dark black scribble in the top right corner brings a mysterious feel to it.

Typography (Font)

There is two different types of font used, the first it very simple and light and does not use any capitals in the text 'paramore', this creates a warm, gentle feel to it. Whereas the second font used is very bold and messy and looks handwritten, this brings a personal element to this CD cover. The hand written writing is in your face and is there to make a point, with it also being bold and in CAPITALS creates a confident impression on the audience.

Composition

The positioning of the text of the band name is high up with implies that it has importance, whereas the positioning of the other text 'Misery business' is placed at an angle, this provides it with power, also with it overlapping the messy scribble in the top right corner which links them together. The band is placed at the bottom of the image looking directly at the audience and smiling which is unusual for this type of genre, they normally have an stern expression which has lots of meaning.  

Pose and Expression

Again the band are the main element, and direct address is made with the close up of the four members who are asking for attention from the audience, the close up also provides a personal and intense quality. The open bodied pose includes cool and confident connotations with the main artist looking to the side when everybody else is looking directly to the camera this suggests that she holds the power.

Again the main conventions of a digipak are there, the photograph of the band, title of the song and name of the band and also a sticker on the front, 'featuring..'.
